Syndrome
There is nothing paranormal about it. The Alien Hand Syndrome is a clinically proven medical disorder which results in involuntary movements of the upper limbs. It is typically associated with lesions within the corpus collasum. Though much similar to normal spasm, the range of motion is much more varied. These extends from simple slapping motions to more intricate movements of individual fingers.Alien hand syndrome: The feeling that one's hand is possessed by a force outside of ones control. The syndrome typically arises after trauma to the brain, after brain surgery or after a stroke or an infection of the brain. A person with the alien hand syndrome can feel sensation in the affected hand but thinks that the hand is not part of their body and that they have no control over its movement, that it belongs to an alien.
Different types of brain injuries cause different subtypes alien hand syndrome. For example, take an injury to the corpus callosum (the area of the brain which connects the two cerebral hemispheres, the two halves of the brain). Such an injury in a right-handed person can give rise to purposeful movements of the left hand, while injury to the brain's frontal lobe of the brain can trigger grasping and other purposeful movements in the dominant right hand. More complex hand movements such as unbuttoning or tearing of clothes are usually associated with brain tumors, aneurysms or strokes.
It was about 1230 1245, half an hour since I turn into bed. My mind was still very active when I tried to put myself to sleep. A weird sensation in my right forearm set me awake. My eyes were dreadry and half open when I saw my right arm erected. My muscles were tensed up and my palm wide open with stiff fingers. The sight shocked me. My first sensible train of though told me that it was some kind of a cramp, but it felt totally different from the usual leg cramps accompanied by extreme pain. Furthermore, the left arm under my pillow (a typical habit of mine) was beginning to experience some kind of spasm. Hy heart was gripped my paranormal fears until I kind of remember the condition I have heard of in earlier days - the alien hand syndrome. I squeezed my right hand in a pumping motion to test if it was still within voluntary control. Yes it was and I quickly locked my hands under the pillow. I pressed the back of my head down hard when I felt my hands jerk.
I woke up in the morning and immediately tried to rationalise the midnight encounter. Gui Yar Shen , dreams, spasms, spirits were just some of the thougths that crossed my mind. My scientific mind got the better of me as I always choose not to believe in ghosts anyway. What I knew for sure was that it was definitely not a dream. You do not experience REM sleep (dream) until at least 3 hours from the time you fall asleep. Even if you were dreaming and acting out your dream, you will be totally unaware of it.
Explanation: When you are in REM sleep, your body is paralysed. When you act out your dream, it is because part of your brain "awakes" and allows voluntary movement.You do not experience consciousness and as a result, memories do not form. You can't even see yourself acting out whatever motions there are because your eyes are locked in picturing the products of your Medulla Oblangta. This proves totally incoherent with my experience.
I probably can't classified it as AHS because the movements of my right forearm were not elaborate. Severe spasm might prove to be a better description for my experience. But still its really scary when you wake up to see that part of your body is actually moving beyond your control. It feels alien. And there are cases in which people grab their own neck and strangles themselves in the deep of the night. Imagine waking up in panic, only to be sent back to eternal sleep with minutes or seconds.
You thought backward masking was Satanic? Quite the contrary. Zon discovered this technique in an attempt to establish communication with Nikoladyse. How this is possible isn't far from imagination. You just need ad open mind to recognise the scientific nature instead of condemning it from a religious perspective. Think again.
